Geography

At the Graduate School of Geography, we train our doctoral students to have the skills necessary to make significant contributions to research and application in one of four main geography areas of focus:

  • Earth System Science
  • Geographic Information Science and Remote Sensing
  • Human-Environment/Nature-Society Geography
  • Urban-Economic Geography

Watch the videos below to learn about these areas of focus through the voices of our faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates.
